Listing description

Summer Hideaway - a fabulous modern 4-bedroom family house and swimming pool with large walled garden - just 200 metres from the prestigious beaches of Le Grau d'Agde, the best kept secret on the Languedoc coast: an authentic Mediterranean rendezvous where the river Herault meets the sea, where dining out is always an occasion and where mornings are spent on the sands and in the shade of a cafe, afternoons at the quayside fish auction or under veteran trees in your own garden, raising a glass of the local Chardonnay or Cabernet and toasting the long lazy days that lie ahead.
Of course you could simply spend the whole week by the swimming pool! There is even a dishwasher by the barbecue in the poolhouse, and the possibility of wifi under the trees.
Very much a private home - a haven of space under summer skies - and is only available for a select number of weeks each year. The whole domain is enclosed with a smart wall. In the South-facing garden, the deep pool has its own dining room and kitchen with a garden dishwasher – true luxury.
4 air-conditioned bedrooms in the house, 3 ensuite shower rooms, a family bathroom, 4 wc and an extra shower/wc in the poolhouse.
In the villa, a vast light living room opens out to a fully furnished terrace, or you may prefer to relax in a hammock by the boulodrome. All this and the beach just 200 metres away.
Just two summer weeks still available in 2010 and next year already booking fast. La Peupleraie is a truly special place
Location Details
Le Grau d'Agde
Grau d'Agde is lovely, a delightful fishing and residential community – where the real Agathois (people of Agde) live year round, not just a tourist resort.
The beaches are lovely, there are seafood restaurants everywhere, both by the sea and along the river Herault. To get around, just hail a water taxi and for 2 euros return you may hop over to the other bank of the Herault, maybe go fishing around the lighthouse, or discover another special restaurant.
On Thursday morning catch the waterbus from the jetty and it will take you upriver to the old town of Agde for the market on the city ramparts: leave at 9am, return lunchtime! And you can go along the river during July and August for a grandstand view of the famous water jousts.
Summer promises midnight fishing trips on old sailing boats, excursions to picnic on island beaches and a host of boats on the quayside offering adventures at sea. Year round fine dining at the Adagio restaurant on the quayside. Plenty of bistros, pizzerias, seafood bars nearby and an excellent beachfront restaurant on the sands in season.
